Get Garter Beanie - PDF knitting pattern

Just a tube topped with a circle – there’s nothing mysterious about beanie shaping, but knitting it sideways feels particularly clever. Short rows replace decreases for the crown shaping, resulting in the familiar satisfying swirl.

Available as a single pattern or as part of the Get Garter collection.

Get Garter is an entry-level guide to sideways Hat knitting.

Six different constructions are explained, supplemented with thorough explanations of the underlying structure and maths, empowering you to venture beyond the pattern and create your own unique Hats.
